Chapter 377: To each his own
What Liu Yuli never expected was that Chen Mingyuan and Mu Jiayin would really come to their lover's birthday banquet as scheduled, and their attitudes were quite kind, as if the turmoil during the day had never happened at all.
"Come here, come here, why bring a gift, eh...... This gift is too expensive for me to accept! β
Liu Yuli's lover is fifty years old, her temples have long been gray, and she is dressed very plainly, revealing a trace of simple and loyal temperament, when she opened the exquisite and chic brocade box, she saw the jade Guanyin, even if she couldn't figure out the specific price, she knew that the Tao must be valuables, so she hurriedly pushed the brocade box to Mu Jiayin's hand, and said continuously: "Sister, it's not that the eldest sister doesn't accept your kindness, but such a rare baby, I don't need to give it to me, you are willing to come to the scene this time, the eldest sister is very happy." β
"Yes, originally our old couple didn't plan to be extravagant, just to invite some acquaintances to come over and have a light meal together."
Liu Yu refused politely, and his eyes lingered on this jade, the color of the jade does not need to be mentioned, it is the top Hetian mutton fat jade carved out of Guanyin, the water head is sufficient, crystal clear, especially rare is the ingenious carving process, he usually also loves to appreciate jade, a little estimate, I guessed that the value of this jade must not be less than 100,000 yuan!
Not only him, Guo Fuhai, Mo Siya and others are secretly smacking their tongues, although they have already known that Chen Mingyuan's family is well-off, but he only received an invitation in the afternoon, and he can get such a rare treasure jade in just a few hours, this way is too wide!
Especially Huang Shishen, who wilted at that time, he has always been greedy for money, but this time, in order to get Liu Yuli's hand, he still gritted his teeth and bought thousands of gold and silver jewelry, and originally planned to take the opportunity to show off, but now he has no confidence to take it out.
Of course, their biggest confusion is the reason why Chen Mingyuan is willing to leave behind his prejudices and go to the appointment, and the words and swords at the afternoon meeting are a bit unreasonable......
Mu Jiayin delicately pushed the brocade box back, and said generously: "Sister-in-law, this is my heart with Mingyuan, there is nothing precious or not, as for its value, it all depends on whether you like it or not, if you like it, the jade is precious, if you don't like it, you should send peace to your family." β
Yixi's words were orderly and impeccable, Rao is Liu Yuli couldn't refuse, and secretly marveled at this woman's extra-show wisdom, and at the same time handed over a look to his lover and accepted this jade Guanyin.
The banquet was held in the hotel under the jurisdiction of the reception office, Chen Mingyuan and Mu Jiayin were naturally arranged into the VIP room, at this time the hall was already full of people, in addition to a few Standing Committee members, there were also several heads of organs and bureaus, seeing Chen Mingyuan's arrival, everyone greeted him one by one, and invited him to the top seat, due to Xiong Lutao's absence, he was the highest leader attending the birthday banquet, but even if Xiong County Magistrate came, I am afraid that he could not sit on an equal footing with Secretary Chen in the middle of the day!
It is also very interesting to say that an ordinary 50th birthday banquet has also become a place that pays attention to the order of officialdom.
The door of the VIP hall kept opening and closing, and many people came in to greet Chen Mingyuan, and while toasting, they didn't forget to compliment Mu Jiayin a few words.
Seeing Secretary Chen's beautiful and boundless girlfriend, many people suddenly had an illusion, and intuitively felt that the level of this little couple and Ruining seemed to be a little disconnected, but it was more like looking down on everyone condescendingly.
Of course, what they are most interested in is the unfathomable identity background of this noble woman!
It's a pity, no matter how varied their clichΓ©s are, Mu Jiayin has always had a noncommittal attitude, and she didn't miss the slightest hint of her words, and after easily dispelling the curiosity of the crowd, she found a gap and took the initiative to talk to Liu Yuli's lover.
In this way, Chen Mingyuan became the protagonist of the wine table, the cup was almost empty, and he was a little dizzy from drinking, so he left in advance on the pretext that he had something else to do in the evening.
Liu Yuli and his wife kept sending the two of them outside the door of the hotel, maybe they were a little drunk, their faces were a little ruddy, and they shook hands with Chen Mingyuan and said: "Really thank you Secretary Chen and Miss Mu for coming to cheer, there is a saying that everything looks forward, I encourage Secretary Chen!" β
Chen Mingyuan nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
After this night's episode, the next day's Standing Committee meeting, everything seemed calm and calm, the only noteworthy thing is probably the papermaking project of Taixing Group, but there was not much discussion, Liu Yuli simply announced that he was ready to meet the South Korean inspection team, as for the biggest opponent Chen Mingyuan, in addition to asking to ensure the anti-pollution measures of the papermaking base, as if nothing happened, he did not interfere in the slightest.
In contrast, Chen Mingyuan attaches much importance to the issue of poverty alleviation, and Liu Yuli is also very supportive of this, agreeing with the establishment of the Poverty Alleviation Office and a number of poverty alleviation plans.
In this way, everyone takes what he takes, and everyone rejoices.
This scene once again gave everyone a big shock, the originally expected blade and sword shadow did not appear, but instead it was a strange tacit understanding between the two giants, Rao is immersed in officialdom for decades, these old fritters are still confused, I really can't figure out what kind of calculation these two people are playing in their hearts!
Behind the tacit understanding, is Huang Shishen's surprise and astonishment, he was still waiting for the other side to watch the fire fight at first, just waiting for the two of them to fight in the dark, he took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, the result is good, the two will shake hands and make peace, so that the well-planned plan of the plan is completely lost, although the project has been successfully passed, but his heart and liver have never been stable.
"Lao Miao, you said that this surname Chen, which play is he singing?"
In the villa in the suburbs, Huang Shishen was half-lying on the sofa trimming his nails, but his face was not good, and he was even a little worried.
Miao Yuxi smoked a cigar, frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, not only the surname Chen, Secretary Liu's behavior is very bizarre, this time he will take the initiative to draw, it is really not in line with his usual style......" took a long puff of smoke, and inferred: "Is it really the jade Guanyin sent by the surname Chen that has an effect?" β
"Now the focus of the problem is not Secretary Liu, but the surname Chen!" Huang Shishen emphasized again, playing with the nail clippers in his hand, and said worriedly: "With that kid's style of acting, he will never give in easily, let alone against me, it's not bad if he doesn't kill them all, how can he be so generous with the green light, in my opinion, nine times out of ten there is fraud!" β
People are often like this, originally expected to be very difficult things, if the road is smooth, but will fall into self-suspicion and doubt, I wish to come out of some troubles, in order to be more practical, according to the vernacular, it is cheap!
"Boss, are you going to worry too much?" It's not that I didn't suspect it, but Miao Yuxi meditated for two days, and I really couldn't figure out what hidden dangers could be here, "I can't say, this time the surname Chen also knows that it is not beneficial to be hard at the road, so he simply calms things down, since he is willing to compromise on current affairs, it also saves us trouble." β
Seeing that Huang Shishen was still twisting the gods, Miao Yuxi persuaded again: "Besides, what do you think, the surname Chen's initiative to retreat this time will inevitably affect the morale of his gang, and it is imperative that I go all out to win this project, as long as the project is landed, even if that kid's background is really clear, he will definitely make a little wave, and he can also hit his prestige hard!" β
Saying this, Huang Shishen's mind relaxed, and after thinking for a while, he nodded resolutely and said, "You're right!" Now it's our turn to show our strengths, I still don't believe it, this surnamed Chen can have good luck every time! β
"But we can't take it lightly, in addition to preparing for the arrival of the Taixing Group inspection team, we also have to beware of the interference of the surname Chen, the last time the Economic Development Zone was a lesson from the past!"
Miao Yuxi smiled sheepishly, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I promise that this matter will be handled properly, no matter how difficult it is for those Koreans to wait, I will definitely be able to leave their minds in Ruining!" β
